Elsdon Tower is a medieval tower house converted for use as a Rectory situated at Elsdon, Northumberland. It is a Grade I listed building.〔(Keys to the Past )〕〔(English Heritage, Images of England:Elsdon Tower )〕 The property was first recorded as a ''Vicars Pele'', a pele tower in the occupation of the Rector of Elsdon in 1415.〔(Gatehouse Gazetteer )〕 The tower, originally of four storeys, was reduced in the 17th century to only three with a steeply sloping roof above a castellated parapet〔(Structures of the North East )〕 In the early 19th century Archdeacon Singleton built an entrance porch and a two-storey, two-bayed house extension.〔〔 The house was in use as the Rectory until 1960.〔 It was fully renovated and restored in the 1990s. There is nearby a medieval Motte and Bailey castle, which was built by Robert de Umfraville and is known as Elsdon Castle. == See also == *Elsdon Castle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elsdon Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
